Choosing forages for pets, people often think of what benefit the chosen fodder structure can bring them to favourites. It is necessary to pay attention not only to components, but also to the content of certain vitamins and minerals, mineral salts. Certainly, pets, as well as to ourselves, need the good, balanced nutrition. At the same time it is important to know, mineral salts in sterns are how important for animals.
Mineral substances play very important role, performing various exchange and physiological functions, both in a human body, and in an organism of animals. As for pets, they cannot correctly organize the diet, so, owners have to take care of it. Animals receive mineral salts with sterns and also partly – with water. If in sterns of mineral substances it is not enough or, on the contrary, their surplus is observed – the animal can get sick.
The most part (about 75% of total number) of mineral substances in an organism of animals is made by calcium and phosphorus. If the animal has rickets if at eggs very soft shell – means, the lack of calcium of food is obvious. From a livestock especially cows and goats need calcium, with milk from their organism rather large amount of mineral substances is distinguished. Making "menu" for the cattle and for your pets (cats or dogs, rabbits or chinchillas, polecats or guinea pigs), keep in mind that full functioning of all systems of an organism is possible only if you find the correct option of food. It is very important that in an organism there was a balance, balance of content of alkalis and acids. If the harmony is broken, changes in a skeleton will inevitably begin: bones will become porous and weak. Do not forget that a basis of control of balance of the water mode of an organism are mineral salts. The role of salts in the course of a metabolism is not less important. So, for example, phosphoric acid is especially important for exchange of carbohydrates. And here exchange of nitrogenous substances depends on in what ratio mineral substances come to an organism. Do you want your animals to be healthy, brought a good issue and an additional weight and simply – that pleased you every day? Take care of their healthy nutrition, it also is the main secret of good health.
